Staying ahead of one of shipping's fastest-evolving compliance challenges.
Biofouling regulation is moving quickly — and unevenly. Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the USA, and a growing list of other states now enforce their own hull cleanliness requirements, each with different inspection standards, documentation, and certification demands. For ship owners and managers, staying compliant without accumulating unnecessary cost has become a genuine technical challenge — one most companies aren't yet equipped to manage in-house.
We are.

Dry Dock & Hull Treatment Supervision
Owner's representation during dry docking, covering hull treatment and surface preparation, with our surface preparation experts overseeing the work on your behalf.
Certification
Issuance of biofouling certificates recognized by the relevant regulatory authorities in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the USA, and other jurisdictions enforcing biofouling requirements.
Why It Matters
Biofouling isn't just an environmental issue — it's a cost issue. Vessels that arrive undocumented or non-compliant risk delays, forced last-minute cleaning at inflated port costs, and potential detention. With consistent inspection data and proactive management, we help you plan cleaning and maintenance on your terms, not the regulator's — turning a growing compliance burden into a predictable, well-managed part of vessel operations.
